Law of conservation of 'force'.

If force is applied in one direction, then it cant happen that the net force application on the normal reactant (or the stuff on which the force finally falls on) is more than or less than the applied force in the same direction as the applied force.

Is this correct?

What I mean to say here is that suppose a force (x) applies through a mechanism and all the force finally falls on something...or there's just 1 object on which the force falls on (take the magnitude of the force that falls on this object as y)...so can it happen that x != y?

Force is the change in momentum wrt time, so since the momentum of an isolated system is conserved the change in momentum wrt time is zero which is constant wrt time and therefore also conserved. So you could indeed say that force is conserved for an isolated system.

However, since the definition of an isolated system is a system with no external force then all you are saying is that if the external force on a system is always zero then the external force on the system is constant. I don't think this represents a new Noether charge or current.

If there is a force independent of time and space it is called a constant force, not a conserved.

The force is something external acting on a particle (see Newton equations). There may be laws of conservation of particle "properties" or ensemble of particle "properties", not of the external things.

The statement "X is conserved" means dX/dt = 0. So if F = 0 (isolated system) then dF/dt = 0 and it is reasonable to say "force is conserved", although I agree with you that it sounds weird and the usual statement would be that it is constant.

This if such a component existed, the law of conservation of momentum would have been trash.

No, that was not the question actually; an isolated system is out of the question here.

It appears we have a sort of chaos here && I don't know the meaning of the various variables used.

What I think, this is a necessity cause if the force applied through this mechanism and to a body is more or less than the actual force applied, the momentum delivered to the body will be more or less than the momentum possessed by the colliding body.

So there should be some "law of conservation of forces"...it's derived from the law of conservation of momentum.

Even during lever action, this law holds true.

Search "law of conservation of forces"...we have only 7 results (yes, I know Google search is VERY inaccurate...like Google desktop and so this post is not shown...maybe it need time to reindex.).

Since impulse is a function of force and under any collision, the impulse delivered to another body (B) is equal to the momentum possessed by the colliding body...this is the law; so, by this law there cant be a mechanism which reduces or increases this force without any change in time or area.

I did a few calculations...and according to them, if such a mechanism does exits, it will be against the law of conservation of energy.

I don't think you understand the standard conservation laws. They all apply only to isolated systems. Momentum and energy are not conserved for non-isolated systems.
